For more than a decade, Hexagon has supported and partnered with mining schools and students via sponsorships, scholarships, software licenses and research collaborations. For a company focused on the next decade of innovation and beyond, it makes sense to back the miners of tomorrow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Global Client Relations Supervisor, Armando Ramirez recently returned from Mexico City and a visit to UNAM (Universidad Autonoma de Mexico). \u201cUNAM is the most important public university in Mexico and Latin America,\u201d said Armando. \u201cIt ranks highly among the world\u2019s mining schools and its campus is a UNESCO World Heritage site!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI wanted to introduce myself and find out how Hexagon could potentially help the university with its mine planning needs. I was given a tour of the engineering school, labs and classrooms. It was an unforgettable experience.\u201d Hexagon\u2019s MinePlan (formerly MineSight) portfolio comprises suites\u00a0 covering geology, engineering and production, plus standalone software products for 3D visualization, short\/long-term scheduling, activity-based scheduling, ore control, blast design, and surface generation. MinePlan software is based on almost 50 years of development and is used in hundreds of mines worldwide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"\r\n
Hexagon’s mine planning software is used by UNAM students, helping them to land jobs in the mining industry.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Armando met with faculty staff and learned that MinePlan is already helping UNAM students land mining jobs. \u201cProficiency in MinePlan software counts for a lot when mines are looking to hire,\u201d said Armando.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now UNAM wants to go one better by creating a virtual mine in which students can create a ramp or design a pit, thus bringing greater realism to the use of MinePlan. \u201cThe virtual mine would be based on information provided by us, including drillhole data,\u201d said Armando. \u201cThe advanced students at the university will develop the model of the mine, the ramps etc.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The school has also requested training dates for its staff. Hexagon has committed to helping on both fronts, said Armando. \u201cWe are working on both requests and look forward to strengthening our relationship with UNAM.\u201d<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
